As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the start of the 2026 NFL season, they are largely healthy, having avoided significant injuries during the offseason. However, the team is currently addressing injuries to two players on the active roster.
Defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard is recovering from an abs/groin injury and was seen participating in rehab work on September 1, indicating a possibility of playing in the season opener, though he may require more time for full recovery.
Guard Ajani Cornelius, who has shown potential in training camp, also missed practice on September 2 but was observed engaging in rehab activities on September 1, suggesting he could be available for Week 1, contingent on his recovery progress.
Additionally, linebacker Marist Liufau and cornerback Devin Moore have been placed on injured reserve. Liufau suffered a fractured forearm during the preseason finale, necessitating surgery, while Moore is dealing with a hip injury following prior groin issues during training camp. Given Moore's injury history, his contributions this season are uncertain.
Updates on Bullard and Cornelius are anticipated as the week unfolds, while Liufau and Moore will be out for at least the first month of the season.
